Objective of the Game
The goal of Super Fun 21 is to get closer to a total of 21 points than the dealer, without exceeding this number. It is a variant of traditional blackjack featuring additional rules for an exciting gameplay.
Game Setup
Super Fun 21 is played with a standard 52-card deck. The values of the cards are as follows: Number cards (2-10) count as their face value, face cards (Jack, Queen, King) each count as 10 points, and Aces count as either 1 or 11 points, depending on what is more favorable.
Gameplay
-
Betting: All players place their bets at the start.
-
Dealing Cards: Each player is dealt two face-up cards; the dealer receives one face-up and one face-down card.
-
Player Turns: Players can choose to stand (receive no more cards), hit (take another card), double down (increase the bet and take one additional card only), or split (if two initial cards are of equal value, play them as two separate hands).
Special Features of Super Fun 21: - Players automatically win with six-card hands totaling 20 or less. - A total of 21 with five or more cards beats a two-card blackjack. - Player blackjack wins over dealer blackjack. - Doubling is allowed at any time, even after a split.
-
Dealer Turn: The dealer turns over the face-down card and continues drawing cards until reaching at least 17 points. In some variants, the dealer must also draw on a “soft 17” (a hand with an Ace and a combination of other cards totaling 7 points).
-
Comparison: All players whose hand is closer to 21 than the dealer’s win their bets at 1:1 odds. A player with a blackjack receives 3:2 payout. Winning with six cards pays 2:1. Achieving 21 with five or more cards also wins 2:1.
Strategic Tips
- The flexible doubling and splitting rules in Super Fun 21 allow for more aggressive play. Remember that, by potentially doubling or splitting multiple times, larger wins can be achieved.
- Hit or Stand: It's often recommended to always hit on values up to 11 as the risk of busting is low.
End of the Game
The game ends when all players have either stood or busted, and the dealer has drawn or stood. Winnings and losses are settled according to the rules mentioned.
Super Fun 21 introduces extra risk and excitement with its unique rules and can significantly lower the house edge with a flexible strategy. Enjoy the game!
